RUN NO. 2210 DST - 28DEC2010

RUN NO. 2210
DATE: 28 Dec 2010
SITE: DST
HARES: Possum/Madam Sin
FRONT HORN: Madmarg
BACK HORN: Dizzy

As I drove along the highway heading for the familiar site of DST, I was cheered by the sight of a fairly clear sky – no storm clouds in sight. Maybe it is my age or is it that I am English that makes me so preoccupied with the weather, but I do hate trudging through the jungle dripping wet – however not today!!

After a brief chat with new and old friends a squeaky horn was heard and off we all galloped, though I found myself right at the back – talking too much probably. We strolled along concrete pathways, no difficult hills to climb so we had time to appreciate the flora and fauna all around.

First I found a tortoise “ what on earth is a tortoise doing in the jungle – dead at that!!?” I was reassured that it was not a tortoise but a terrapin and definitely not dead – just hiding it’s head from me........ We carried along hearing checks called and found in front of us ... ha ha just the way I like it.

As we came to the third check, I pointed out to Heulwen my second time guest, a high wall on our right – which housed a lake that we would probably circumnavigate – but no, there was a most definite sign telling all hashers to go back the way we came in – no chance of getting lost tonight!!

More was to be seen on our way back footprints, hoof prints Trailblazer pointed out – what!! I thought well the tortoise wasn’t a tortoise so maybe hoof-prints didn’t mean a horse – no silly! Wild Boar!!! Good we didn’t see it, though we could have had it roasted for the on on!

Off we all went again and there was Alice in Wonderland photographing us as we crossed the finishing line.

At the shout up new guests were welcomed ..Yvonne and Vanessa. The other first time guests Norma and Denise didn’t stay for the shout-up and somebody who I won’t mention only missed getting the hash-shit by her absence!!! A cheer and a beer were given to the hares and a lovely supper to end the evening on on...

RUN NO. 2208
SITE: DST
HARES: NEVER WRONG/DEE
HENS: 24 CHICKS: 4
FRONT HORN: TANGO BACK HORN: ALISON

What a pleasant surprise. No rain, I think that is the first time in about a month.

I enjoyed a slow and pleasant ramble along wide paths with the odd stream interuption, one of these was a swim if you missed your footing. Then a
jungle meander and back onto the track for the home run. There was one 'on forward'
check and one 'on back' and one rather steep bank. If only i had had my
camera.

It's not often I am the first at the top of a hill, but the view looking
back from there was very funny. (n.b. A slow and pleasant ramble doesn't usually lead one to the front of the run unless you find the 'on paper')

Horns were Tango and Alison. We had three new guests; a visiting friend, Wena's sister and Narell from the Dairy Farm.

Many thanks to the hares, virgin hare Dee and Never Wrong, for the yummy
food.

I was nominated for the hash shit which i thought very unneccessary, so I refused!
n.b. JM's perogative - new rule!

and Never Wrong told a funny joke against her countrymen.
On on - Dizzy

RUN NO. 2207
DATE: 7 DEC 2010
SITE: LUCKY GARDENS, JLN MUARA
HARES: SATU LAGI/PEAHEN
FRONT HORN: MELISSA BACK HORN: DIZZY

As usual the storm clouds started gathering in the afternoon and I knew we were in for another wet night.
I arrived at Lucky Gardens and saw the paper was heading straight up the muddy embankment. There were only nine dedicated hashers willing to go in and we were without horns but Madam Sin saved the day with a whistle.

Luckily the rain eased off and was only a drizzle when we set of through mud to the top of the ridge.We soon came to first check which was a back check which took quite a while to locate and headed back through more picturesque jungle and a few not to treacherous stream crossings.

Alice in Wonderland and I were at the back of the group after second check and plodded along together needing torches near the end as darkness set in early. I managed to stay fairly dry until the last water crossing when I misjudged the depth of the water and went in waist deep.

We then came to mud flats and went acroos to more jungle and eventually the out trail/ It was an enjoyable run.

At the shout up the hares who did not venture into the juingle described a pleasant stroll under umbrellas along paved roads. Madam Sin was given a shout up for providing the whistle. The birthday hens were sung happy birthday and Legally Blonde was given a down down for her services with refreshments.

MadMarg told a very funny joke with much laughter.

Melissa was awarded the hashit for forgetting to sign in then we ate the delicious vegetable curry and birthday cake. Thank You hares.
